Batonneur


Production on Lees

Batonneur

Manufacture : SOCMA

Présentation

  • Batonneur made from stainless stell 360
  • Rotor especially designed to treat the whole volume of vat, whatever its shape
  • The SOCMA designed motor, especially made for the batonneur, is guided by the control box
  • A special starter device creates a torque adapted to the fluidity of the product, so as to avoid turbulence and degassing
  • Stainless steel control box, containing security device and controls. Possibility to program the frequency and duration of stirring

Advantage

  • Maintains a high level of turbidity over a period of time without degassing.
  • Develops the richness of wine : the transfer of polysaccharides from the lees gives the wine body, and softens the tannins.
  • Develops aromatic expression and complexity
  • Optimises production on lees (reds, whites, rosés) with or without oxygen supply
  • Alternative to production in barrels.
  • Lessens vegetable and reduced character.
  • Helps avoid racking
  • Stirs the lees so as to eliminate the wine's reducing power
